Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #49

Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

When was the last time you’ve had a day where it just seemed like you were getting nowhere in the things you needed to do that day? When was the last time you can say that you ended the day feeling good because there were some things you wanted to get accomplished and you ended the day meeting that goal? Productivity. That’s the difference in the depiction of those two types of days. When you have so much to do and not one thing has gotten accomplished that day you can feel very unproductive. I don’t know about you but sometimes those days can make me have that “what’s the use” feeling. If nothing is getting done why even bother. However, days that are productive help keep pushing us forward in life. We see what was done today and it encourages our hope for the next day; we don’t have to see things finished—just moving. Be thankful for the days when you are accomplishing things. It might be studies working towards a degree or certification. It might be a room in your home that you’ve been slowly cleaning out or remodeling. Another chapter completed for that novel you’ve been trying to write. Or, it might be a project at work that’s not quite at the finish line but there is just one more task or part of a task being completed everyday to get you there. There are so many opportunities for obstacles to our goals on a daily basis (phones calls, uncooperative people, unanticipated health issues, etc.) so be thankful for those days that end with you completing something.
